About Coaching
What is Coaching?
In a nutshell, coaching empowers you to have a more fulfilled life. It’s generally done through identifying some kind of goal for yourself and aiming for it.
Now, your goals may be as fuzzy as ‘I feel stuck in life and I don’t want to be’ or ‘I just want to feel happier’ or ‘I don’t think I know myself anymore and I want to’. Or your goal might be crystal clear and specific.
Whichever one it is, coaching helps you to identify the different options you have open to you, the actions you need to take and to overcome any unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour that are stopping you.
It brings clarity to your life through gaining new insights and perspectives, recognising the skills you already have, changing negative patterns and being curious about how you attain your goals.
Coaching will be helpful if…
- Your’re feeling stressed out and anxious often
- You’re burning out and want to stop
- You’re fed up of being irritable
- You’re not feeling fulfilled in life
- You’re feeling disatisfied often
- You feel stuck, like every day is the same
- You want to be more creative
- You’re struggling to make decisions
- Your life doesn’t feel like your own
- You feel overwhelmed
- You take on too much responsibility
- You want more balance and fun in life

Besides reaching the goals you’ve set for yourself some other benefits of life coaching are…

I combine hypnotherapy with coaching so that we can solve issues fast.
Some things take a little longer to resolve though, so I also offer longer-term coaching packages.
These are to help you with bigger changes in your life, such as learning to set boundaries, how to stop putting everyone else’s needs before your own (people pleasing), self-development, breaking unhealthy relationship patterns, getting happy being single and rediscovering yourself after a significant life event such as divorce, bereavement, leaving work, finishing college etc.
How Does Coaching Work?
Coaching opens up your mind to new possibilities, directions and options available to you.
Together we get clear on what you’d like to aim for, then we find the next steps that you need to take.
It’s far less daunting making changes in your life when you have someone by your side.
I encourage clients to think of their goals like a project. When you approach something with a curious mind, you’ll be more likely to take setbacks less personally and be able to reflect on what’s working for you and what isn’t which helps to grow your self awareness, confidence, intuition and resilience.
There is rarely only one way to reach a goal, whatever that goal is. Your ideas, feelings, expectations, dealbreakers, energy levels, current commitments, preferences, openness and interests will all play into how you to get to where you want to be. At some point you also might realise that your goals change and you don’t actually want what you thought you wanted. Something else might make more sense.
Coaching focuses on you and your journey. I can and will make suggestions and will help to clear the way for you, but the power and the choices will always be in your hands, which is exactly where they should be.

Why do you do hypnotherapy and coaching together?
Coaching is about working towards your goals – whether they’re getting rid of anxiety, being comfortable single, deciding where to live, navigating dating, learning all about boundaries or facing your fears.
That’s done through discovering different perspectives, filling in the gaps in your knowledge, questioning what you think is true or right, and discovering where your blocks are and repeating patterns of thought and behaviour are.
Hypnotherapy helps to calm and settle your mind which means you’ll process things better and you get to hand over the problematic bits to your subconscious to resolve.
It’s a winning combination.
How quickly will I notice changes?
Quickly!
When you’re making changes to your life it’s important to have people by your side to help and support you.
Having someone who can see different perspectives and have a deeper understanding of what you’re facing is enormously beneficial. You’ll get to your goals much faster than if you went alone.
In short, your coach will help you to cut through the cr*p much faster.
One of the main changes you’ll see quite quickly is that you’ll begin to feel more relaxed and will probably start sleeping better. The future will look brighter because you’ll be seeing more possibilities.
With coaching, I’ll encourage you to take action so you can very quickly discover what works and what doesn’t for you.
When coaching is combined with hypnotherapy you’ll be able to talk things through, find blocks, plan your next steps and gain the gentle, transformative benefits of hypnotherapy.
What type of coaching do you do?
It varies greatly.
I’ve coached people through anxiety, boundaries in dating, relationships, changing careers, gaining confidence and self-esteem, exam nerves and existential crises.
It’s my approach to it that makes it successful.
My job is to help you navigate your life yourself. I can certainly offer suggestions, but ultimately, I’m here to help you live your life your way.
I have a relaxed and open coaching style. We’ll laugh often and everything you say is kept in strict confidence. I want you to be happy and I want you to be successful in life, however that looks for you.
